Death, The Greatest Teacher

Add as a preferred source on Google

All great religions and world philosophies have arisen out of trying to answer one question: What happens after death?

In trying to answer this one question, different life solutions have taken root.

The cultures, which believe in a single life, with no concept of reincarnation, have poured all their energies into excelling in life. They have achieved the peak in terms of assimilation of information, gaining of knowledge and material comforts. These cultures have given rise to Science. Science helps us live life at its optimum. Science helps us get the maximum out of this life.

The cultures, which believe in reincarnation, have turned the focus of their life inwards. Their search is different. They are not motivated to live life in a hurry, because Eternity is granted to them.

You can see the play of this concept clearly in the behaviour of the people. In India, if a programme is scheduled to start at 6 o"clock, you can be sure that it won"t start before 7.30! Because they have eternity before them!

Our whole mental set-up, the course of our lives, our society, our culture, our religion everything is based on nothing but our idea of death. We try our best not to think about death – but death pervades every moment of our life!
